Thinking of a Caponord

[Medic09]

2007 with under 7k miles on it.  Looks fine.  Was traded in to a dealer, who is asking $7500.  I test rode it, and can't think of anything I didn't like.  I presently ride an '02 Tiger 955i.  I haven't ridden a twin in about 35 years; but I think this would serve me find.  I ride daily.  Hauling groceries and interstate.  The only hitch I see is that the nearest Aprilia dealer is about 200 miles away.  Also, I need to figure in the price of complete luggage of some sort; and maybe a wider windscreen if available.

Any input or insights would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Luggage and windshield options. Not much for wider windscreens just taller.
The distance to the dealer is no big deal to me, I do most all of my own work and order parts from AF1.
Fun bikes, I like my 03.

Price seems a bit high. They are cool bikes though.
You might let it sit for a while, they probably aren't going to sell it in the winter for that price. I think more around $6k is about right.

A local BMW dealer took it on trade in.  They're into it for about $6900, so they won't go a whole lot lower.

That is a decent price for an ABS model.

We had a dealer go under.  I tried to buy a set of Caponord hard bags from him for $200, but he declined.

We bought it.    While we were there, my wife decided to leave her bike for service.  After the short ride home, she said this was the most comfortable bike we've owned.  She's been on the back of our '78 750Four, '01 Sprint ST with custom seat, '02 Tiger with modded seat; and this is what she has liked best.  Good outcome.  Now I have to see about luggage and a larger windscreen.  Can't do the errands without luggage.
